“Never in my wildest dreams as you were growing up did I imagine such an opportunity as you being drafted in the NFL,” Anna Love read.

When Jordan was a teenager he lost his father to suicide. He told the story last night after he was picked.

“Even though Dad is not here, know that your sisters and I are, and we are in awe as to what you accomplished,” she continued.

“Always remember your values, and let God guide you down the right path, Love Mom.”
